HARLAN (July 19) -- Three wins removed from a potential ninth straight trip to state, the Harlan Community baseball team opens district tournament play Friday night against an opponent that will have its full attention. Atlantic (7-17) takes on the fifth-ranked Cyclones (24-7) in the second of two...
COUNCIL BLUFFS (July 15) -- The Harlan Community baseball team let leads of 5-0 and 8-6 slip away on Monday night at Abraham Lincoln, falling to the Lynx 9-8 in a back-and-forth non-conference affair. The game ended in ugly fashion in the bottom of the seventh after AL’s Hunter Nice hit a leadoff...
COUNCIL BLUFFS (July 16) -- As soon as AHSTW’s Joel Sampson rifled a bases-clearing triple to the fence in the top of the first, the tone for the night - offense - was set. The Vikings continued to hit the ball well and fought admirably the rest of the way, but never slowed down St. Albert’s bats...
ONAWA (July 12) -- When the bats came alive for the AHSTW softball team last Friday, the Lady Vikes scored four sixth-inning runs to pull within 8-5 of West Monona. The drama would be short-lived, however, as the 4th-ranked Spartans answered with six runs on seven hits in the bottom of the sixth...

BOONE (July 13) -- At the halfway point of Saturday’s Class 4A regional softball semifinal, Harlan Community and Boone appeared destined for a down-to-the-wire finish. Thirty minutes later, the Cyclones could only reflect on how quickly it all came unraveled. The host Toreadors led 1-0 as they...
HARLAN (July 11) -- The Harlan Community softball team’s first tournament win in four years was more of a nail-biter than expected, but well worth the wait and the drama. Trailing a five-win Perry team 2-0 and down to their last six outs, the Cyclones scored one run in the sixth and two in the...
AVOCA (July 13) -- A five-run first inning provided more than enough support for junior pitcher Clayton Akers here Saturday night as AHSTW opened the Class 1A district baseball tournament with an 8-0 quarterfinal victory over Fremont-Mills. Akers (4-3) pitched six scoreless innings in just 63...
COON RAPIDS (July 13) -- Trailing 5-1 early on, the IKM-Manning baseball team rallied to keep its season alive here Saturday with a 7-6 win over Ar-We-Va in a Class 1A district quarterfinal. The game ended in bizarre fashion in the bottom of the seventh as the Rockets threatened to tie the score...
HARLAN (July 12) -- Brett Sears homered and pitched five strong innings on Friday as the Harlan Community baseball team snapped a quick two-game losing skid with a 10-2 home win over Le Mars.
